I must say, of all the cyber places you could have ended up, i’m certainly glad you chose to be here. Viewing my site is best accompanied by your choice of beverage; i recommend sweet tea, hazelnut macchiato, or prosecco. That, and 80's music, preferably from the breakfast club soundtrack.

Nina & Gary

August 28, 2014

In the middle of a very busy season, we carved out a few days to spend on Topsail Island with Matt’s family. This wasn’t the typical family vacation because, although few people knew the intention of our trip, it’s purpose was to celebrate the 35th anniversary of my in-laws. If you’ve ever met Nina & Gary, you know that they are the kind of people who would give you the shirt off their backs. My mother in law has to be one of the most selfless people I’ve ever met, living a life of serving The Lord by serving others.

Their vow renewal ceremony, accompanied by the sound of ocean waves and acoustic guitar, was a reflection of the life they’ve lived together. Surrounded by their closest family members, they committed to continue to wake up every day and choose their marriage and choose to love one another. They have become an incredible example of Christ-like marriage to those around them, but especially to their children and grandchildren. You don’t realize how rare a thing it is these days to have parents who are still married, and Matt and I are beyond blessed to have not one set, but both sets of our parents still committed to one another.

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad! Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0002 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0003 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0004 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0005 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0006 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0007 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0008 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0009 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0010 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0011 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0012 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0013 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0014 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0015 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0016 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0017 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0018 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0019 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0020 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0021 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0022 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0023 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0024 Nikki Santerre Photography_North Carolina Fine Art Wedding Photographer_Destination Vow Renewal Photography Topsail North Carolina_Nina & Gary Vow Renewal_0025
